Penance and Reconciliation

"Controversy within communio can lead to the emergence of truth and the deepening of charity."

"Theology remains certain that no one can be saved apart from the intervention of God in the person of Jesus."

"The central act of all conversion is the awareness of one's reality, elicited by the encounter with Jesus."

"Promotion of integral confession of mortal sin is often closely connected with promoting the interests of God's Kingdom."

"Current reception of Penance stresses healing of the whole person while tending to informality."
